"She's not allowed to leave the house though it's safe enough really. The little fool has lost her memory, curse her!" "That's been annoying for you and your friends, I reckon. What about the other girl, the one you decoyed away over a week ago?" "She's there too," said the Russian sullenly. "That's good," said Julius. "Isn't it all panning out beautifully? And a lovely night for the run!"
The bucking game was not panning out and the ball was passed back to the giant fullback, Livingston, for a kick. The snapping was good and the kick speedy, but Bert burst through the line like a whirlwind and by a superb leap blocked it in mid-air. It was a rattling play and the Blue stand shook with cheers. The teams lined up for the scrimmage on the "Grey's" thirty-five yard line.
Besides that, Hillerton's tone was getting more and more lofty on the subject of stock gambling, and the idea of acting contrary to such unquestioned sagacity had more relish than most ideas possessed. Meanwhile the excitement grew. Lame Gulch was "panning out" with startling results.
He gave the double impression that he was at bay and that you had better not crowd him further. "'Just in from a gold-hunting expedition on the coast of Costa Rica, he explained. 'Second mate of a banana steamer told me the natives were panning out enough from the beach sands to buy all the rum, red calico, and parlour melodeons in the world.
That much, at least, Bruce and Langdon did for Pipoonaskoos. This day Metoosin and Bruce again went over the range. The mountaineer had brought back with him bits of quartz in which were unmistakable signs of gold, and they returned with an outfit for panning. Langdon continued his education of Muskwa.
"You see, the stuff isn't panning out now same as it used to, and fortunes aren't made as fast as they were in my time. Not that I'm wanting a fortune, neither is it likely now? But, still and for all well, I'll be away a good spell, anyway." Philip tried to ask if he intended to go soon. "To-morrow, sir, by the packet to Liverpool, for the sailing on Wednesday.
William's Creek was panning poorer and poorer and was being called 'Humbug Creek, when miners staked near by decided to see what they could find beneath the blue clay. It took forty-eight hours to dig down. The reward was a thousand dollars' worth of wash-gravel. Back surged the miners to William's Creek. They put shafts and tunnels through the clay and sluiced in more water for hydraulic work.
That day the gold hunters were more systematic in their work, beginning close to the fall, one on each side of the stream, and panning their way slowly down the chasm. By noon they had covered two hundred yards, and their only reward was a tiny bit of gold, worth no more than a dollar, which Rod had found in his pan.
A few judicious questions to the doctor and careful observations never left her long in the dark. She had a natural gift for absorbing information. She was a sort of social amalgam which never failed to glean the golden particles of news which remained after the "panning up" of daily events in Foss River.
There was no water in its vicinity nearer than the little spring I have mentioned. This was a mere trickle at the base of a big rock. However, by "puddling" I managed to make a small dam which would at night collect enough water to admit of a limited amount of panning or cradling by day. For several consecutive days I ascended the mountain.
